THE LONDON -JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING. P4PFR I S, IttA'Y 8, . 1826. • [THE TIMES.] Events are now, we haveireeson to believe, on, the point of manifesting the truth of our intelligence, nearly two months agol inide . with regard to ihe'probable issue - and ''eff'ects of his Grace the Duke of Wellington's late, negotiation at St. Petersburgh. We have sincereceived, by an arrival froin Paris, a full confirmation of all that had been already stated in this journal, respecting each of the important subjects which. - our brave countryman was commissioned by his Majesty to discuss with the Emperor Nicholas and his Ministers. Many further particulars have now reached us, of extreme interest, and on authority to IvlOch we yieldimplieit credit. It is affirmed that a treaty him been signed between Great Britain and Russia for establishing the independence of the Greek nation, and that, in pursuance of this treaty, Greece, 'including the islands, is to constitute a free' and separate state ; with a ruler of her own Choice, (subject only to an approval of the person by the Porte), her own laws, army, navy, and seat of Government ; paying a no minal tribute, or feudal homage, to the Grand Seignor. That England and Russia, having framed the treaty, withdraw, through delicacy, from the office of gua rantees themselves, but engage the continental Powers to undertake that responsible office. It is further well understood, that in enforcing upon the Divan the pro visions of this treaty,' England strenuously concurs with Russiti, and has joined her in a representation declaratory .of the will of both Cabinets, that Greece shall be immediately and definitively rescued from the Turkish yoke—that a refusal, moreover, by the Otto man Government will be the signal for coercive mea slues:on the part of this country as well as Russia, to compel its entire acquiescence. We may add, as a fact to be relied upon, that a squadron of seven sail of the line actually under equipment at Portsmouth, for service in the Mediterranean,. and that in case of neces sity, transports are , preparing for the . conveyance of troops. The British , army, we learn, being in such effective condition that every regiment reported com plete.(that Is, with its rank and file amounting to 740 mien) would be ready to march at twelve hours notice. With respect, to the second branch of the Duke of Wellington's negotiation, we regret to say that, in so far as, concerned the prevention of hostilities be tween Russia and the Turks, it has totally failed of its object, and this without affording the shadow of ground for impugning the competency of the Bri tish Ambassador fir his, office. We believe the truth to be, that .hostilities are now • inevitable be tween the Cabinet of St: Petersburh and. the Porte. r--The ultimatum of the former G overnment arrived it Constantinople on the,4th ult. ; the Turkish Mini stera were allowed to the' 18th-inst., on which day if an answer ,be not2delivered fo the Russian Envoy, that personage ;sit° lleave Constantinople, and being deli .vered, the despatches are to be opened by the Russian General on the frontier, whO is forth With to commence kis military operations if he should not find in the answer a fall and explicit satisfaction for all the de mands of his. Court. There is no statesman,. British Russian, who anticipates the required satisfaction sithout a coniiiet. The provisions of the treaty of • Bucharest, which secured certain rights to the Chris tians of iloldavia and Walachia, - have been violat ed, it appeark by the Turks, who, on' the other hand, accuse the Russians of having failed* to restore some Asiatic fortresses, the surrender of which was stipulated 4y the. satne treaty. These are the asserted grounds ofa •Is whiehuo man• can presume to calculate the 'possible results. 'We shall perhaps - be induced to oar, in our next number, a few details and cOnsidera *lions connected with . this new crisis in the affairs of Europe, whneh, even ' at" the outset, presents Great 41i0in as a prominent actress on the scene. [MORNING •lIIMALD.3 When lord Lowther firit set on foot an inquiry into the state, revenues, and management of the dif ferent turnpike roads in and about-London, we were among the ,first to hail his interference as likely to be productive of Ale greatest public benefit—not only from a belief that it would remove many manifest and .gross abuses known to 'exist inmost of the Trusts, but principally from a persuasion that the conse quence would be the taking away altogether of „ turnpike gates in and about the metropolis, with their •ttni t i of vexations and annoyances;and th e re d u ction `of the tolls upon the remainder: ,What, however, is .our surprise and regret, to perceive that, instead of Oty such coesequences as "these, in the Bill of the Noble Lord, which has just passed the 1-louse of Com ' mons, we have a new and bulky volume, of no less than IQO pages, of Legislation, which, instead of re . *loving, perpetuates the evil, with more teasing and -Tilling powers than before, giving the power to a new fit of Comrniviioners, and transferring the patronage to , the Treasury, which, from experience, knows well enough how to use s instead of the present Commis+ sinners, who may or may not have abused it ? We have not space to bestow upon the numerous excep tionable clauses which appear in this bulky volume, which wo fear has slipped through the House of Com- MOUS, as, such' Bills too often do, without receiving the -attention the importance of many of its provisions; and,' indeed, the white of the subject, requires. Such #n addition to, the Statute Book is in itself an evil of .no small magnitude; and we ,shall be truly happy to hear that its progress is arrested in the' Lords, either by the opposition which we trust it will meet with there, or by the proposed dissolution of Parliament for we are convinced that, objectionable as the present system may be, there is nothing in this Bill which frvtill in any material respect lessen it. It has been sug gested to us by a correspondent, dila this Bill is the commencement of a plan for placing all the roads of d i n kingdom under the care of a Surveyor-General, and that a person, ivhoin we need not name, has -hem long paving the way to the possession of such an appointment, by means not the moat creditsble or praiseworthy. To give such an appointment as this, with those of clerks, surveyors, toll.collecior s &c, all over the kingdom, to the 'Treasury, would be a tole rably sweeping and 'extensive 'addition to what is falsely called. the influence 'of the Crown, but what would be more truly described as a power to set 'the Ministers both above the Crown and the people. It is by slow and insidious steps like these that undue ilifilience is Created', and pu'ilic liberty undermined ; we trust, therefore, that some means may yet be de. *iced of arresting.the further progress of this measure, it least till its probable consequences are more clefirly and generally understood. We wonder what Mr. Hume was about, that he should suffer such a Bill as this to pass without exposing : in his, place in the House of Commons, the abominably vexatious pro visions that are introduced into it. We hope that Lord Lansdown and L'ord'King will take the trouble to read over this, voluminous piece of legislation, and that they will battle it in every one of its stages in the House of Lords, provided they, agree with us in opi nion regarding it. [THE REPRESENTATIVE.] The more the measure proposed by Ministers in re gard to the admission of Foreign corn is considered, the more every unprejudiced mind must be convinced of its temporary character. Among other objections it has been said, that the value of everyfarm will, by this measure, be placed at the diScretion of Ministers ; now surely this is not a power which, for any possible poli tical purposes, Ministers could wish to xetain, or that the good sense of the country would allow to remain in their hands. The simple statement of the case ap pears to be, that , the supply of manufacturing labour in some districts at the moment so much exceeds the demand, as to deprive the labourers of the usual source of maintenance ; by this want of employment they are thrown upon the ordinary and extraordinary means of gratuitous subsistence ; if the price of this subsistence be high, the means will sooner be exhausted, and every measure that has a tendency to keep down the temporary price of corn becomes not only desirable, but indispensable. Continued opposition to this tem porary measure, if connected with the proposition that has been suggested—of a Parliamentary grant of money in aid of the suffering labourers, will subject the landed interest to the imputation of seeking to sell their own produce at a monopoly' price to the State, and of being, therefore, hostile to the lower ing that price by the competition of foreign corn.— Such, we are convinced, arc not the motives by which the landowners of this country are actuated, but we are rot surprised that the jargon pf political economy, which spreads from the lecture-room of" the Northern Philosopher to the drawing-room and boudoir, should make them look with apprehension at all changes in the existing law. Prohibition is, and ought to to be, an exploded term in the statesman's code ; but protection still remains a practical principle, however abhorrent to the out-and-out political economist. If the land be too poor to justify the expensive system of agriculture required to ro i duce corn, imitate, say these dogmatists, the Ger man and Polish landowners ; turn it into pas ture, produce wool, work up that wool, export it, and get corn ; or. if you can get better and cheaper wool elsewhere, lay it waste altogether, le jeu ne vaut pas la chandelle. Such, we feel assured, are not the sen timents of Ministers ; by them the , importance of maintaining the agriculture of England in its present improved and extended state is fully, felt ; and when the general measure comes to be discussed, we cannot doubt that ample protection will be given to the interests of that class, which in the 'several situa-. tions of landlord, farmer, and peasant, may be truly said to constitute the foundation of our social edifice.

On Saturday the twentieth Anniversay Meeting was held at the Freemasons' Hall, Lord GAMBIER. in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said the object of the Society was to afford in struction to the population of Ireland, and in his opinion it de served the support and encouragement of the public. Mr. WEBSTER, the Secretary, then read the Report, which stated, that during the past year the total amount of schools formed exceeded that of the preceding year by 49, being for the year end ing March 1825, 1147 ; and in March 1626, -1196. The schools of the Society were either day, Sunday, or adult, and were distri buted through the. different provinces. The total number of scholars in the different schools amounted to 66,497. The Re port contained accounts of the proceedings of the Committee rela tive to the Kildare-street Society, and concluded by stating that the receipts of the last year amounted to 6,728/. of which X. s. d. The subscriptions and contributions were - 1,392 14 6 Auxiliary contributions - - - 2,558 4 9 Ditto in Ireland - - - 2,222 6 1 Legacies - - - 108 18 10 Produce of collection sermons - 284 14 4 Meanwhile the expenditure had been 8,777/. thus exceeding the receipts by 2,048/. The Rev. G. NOEL moved that the report be received. The Rev. Mr. MARSH seconded the motion, which was put and carried unanimously. EAST INDIA HOUSE. EAST INDIA NAVAL FORCE BILL. A special General Conn of Proprietors of East. India Stock was held on Friday, for the purpose of laying before the proprie tors, the drought of a Bill now in prog ress through Parliament, by which the Company are called on todefray.the expellee of any additional naval force that may be sent out to the East Indies, for the better protection of the Company's possessions. The Bill having been read— The CrialastriN (Sir G. A. Robinson, Batt) moved, "That the Court do concur in its provisions." Dr. GILCHRIST complained that no papers. relative to this mea sure had been laid before the proprietors: He, therefore, being ignorant of the nature of the Bill, or the circumstances which gave r►se to it, did not think himself competent to vote on the measure. He thought that the Bombay marine, if it were in an efficient state (and if it were not, it ought to be made efficient), was powerful enough to cope with such an enemy as the Burmese, who had not a vessel that mounted 10 guns. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to the Hon. Proprietor, wished to observe, that whenever papers were called for, and were directed to he produt2(l by a vote of that. Court, they. were laid on the table in the proprietors' room, for the inspection of every pro prietor who might wish to examine them ; but it was not cus tomary to produce documents when they were not regularly called for. General THORNTON agreed with the Hon. Proprietor (Dr. Gilchrist) in thinking that there was much impropriety in call ing on the Court to agree to this motion, when they !mew little or nothing about the bill. He knew that, on more trifling occa sions, papers had been produced, and he knew not why, when the question was of so much importance, they should now he re fused. The motion might be very proper, but he could not agree to it until he was sure that it was proper. If his Majesty's Mini sters thought fit to send a naval force to India, he conceived it was rather extraordinary that they should call on the Proprietors to bear the expence--an orpence which the Company could but ill afford, when it was considered what immense sums the prose cution of the unfortunate Burmese war cost them. Sir C. FORBES expressed his entire approbation of the measure, before the Court. He eulogized the Bombay marine ; and hoped that the. bill would not interfere with that ' meritorious body of men. In his opinion, the Company's marine ought ; 0 .be placed on a more respectable footing thau, it stood on at present. He thought it was discreditable to the nation to have allowed the naval force in India to be reduced to so low a state as that in which it . was placed 18 months ago. Mr. Twuuxo said, he would give the measure his decided sup port, persuaded as he was, that it bad received all the attention. which its imporlanCe deserved froM the executive body. The motion was then agreed to. FLOGGING IN INDIA. The lion. Colonel L. STANUOIT gave notice that he would move at the next General Court--. 1. That by the bth article of the Ilan. Company's regulations, (the first of 1814) it is declared lawful for one magistrate of po lice, upon complaint made by any master Al mistress against any servant or itavnel, and on such complaint being established by the oath of one credible witness, to puoish the offender, by causing any number of lashes, not exceeding 12, for each offence, to be inflicted on him or her so offending. Q. That this regulation is'utterly illegal, for any power of the petty sessions at Bombay to indict whipping must be derived from regulations made under the statute 39 and 40 :Geo. 111., c. 79, sec. 18, by which corporal Tiuitislinieut can only be inflicted on conviction before two magistrates. 3. That in, defiance 'of this statute and the admonitions of two high-minded .Britisiv Judgestainely, Sir J. Mackintosh, and Sir E. West, many hundreds , of men have been fined and flogged Without limita,and havii been banished and'eondetnned to , the con dition of galley-slaves, and that this monstrous and unlawful prac tice is still persevered in by the Magistrates of 'Bombay, and ob stinately sanctioned by the Grand Jury of that settlement. 4. That the Courtiituhly . entreat Directors to repeal the fifth article of the regulations (first of 1814) that is opposed to the above-mentioned , statute, and to , support the King's Chief Justices in India, and to check the lArbarous practice of flogging in that country. • INDIAN ARMY.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—One Mr. Robert Begood, a well-built, well fed, well-dressed, Lancashire person, was brought before the Al derman, charged with having scorned the advice and cracked the the shins of Joseph Godfrey, a comfortable little cockney con stable, in a flaxen bob wig. ' • It appeared by the,evidence of the, constable, and divers very ancient and quiet watchmen, his coadjutors in the preservation of the King's peace, that about half-past one o'clock in the morn: ing, this Mr. Robert Begood, instead of being at home and a a bed, as might naturally have been expected of the bearer of such a surname, was found, at the door of the Dull Inn, Smith field, in close confabulation with two very naughty wornen—la dies who profess to deal in love only, but who are in fact decoy ducks, waddling about Smithfield and the parts adjacent, for the purpose of decoying the country wild drakes, who resort thither, into the snares of the fowler —or, in other words, into the haunts of the thieves, who are always waiting to pluck them; and certainly a fouler occupation cannot be. Now the comfortable little constable aforesaid, seeing Mr. Robert Begood in close confabulation with the aforesaid brace of decoy ducks—or damsels, be they which they may; and being moreover decidedly of opinion that Mr. Robert Begood was fresh 'from the country, and therefore in great danger of being decoyed by them into all manner of mischief and misery ; determined in his own mind to save him from the same if possible. So, " first and foremost" he went up to them, and ordered the decoy ducks to "be off for a brace of brimstones !" and they did go off accordingly, as he verily believed at the time, but in this point he was mistaken, as the event will show. However, be lieving the said brace of brimstones to be "gone clean away"— though hOwhe could believe such foul sluts could go clean away, we knOW not; he next addressed himself to Mr. Robert Begoal, in forming him of the peculiar nature of those brimstones, and ear nestly recommended him to go home to bed. To which Mr. Robert Begood replied, "Nay, but I have some ale within doors here, and I'd like ,to drink that first; as 'for women, I didna want naaght do wi em." " Very good," rejoined the constable; for he thought it a pity that good ale should spoil for lack of drink ing: and, as we have already said, he is a very comfortable con stable, and of course he likes to make every body else comfortable —that is, every honest , body. So when Mr. Robert Begood talked of finishing his ale, the constable said " very good ;" and they went into the house together; the constable thinking that it would be better he should assist in the drinking of the ale, in order that it might be the sooner drank ; and not doubting but that when it was. drank, Mr. Robert Begood would be good enough to go home quietly to bed. But_ in this also he was mis taken ; .for as one word brings on another, so also does one cup; ' and Mr. Begood's cup was no sooner empty, than he insisted upon having it filled again. " I poured my advice into,him," said the constable; "but it WAS all . of no use—he scorned my advice, and set good counsel at defiance ;"---thatis to say, as fast as the con stable poured in the advice, Mr. I3egood poured in the ale; and the ale, being the strongest, . gut the better of the advice ; a very natural consequence, though it seemed to puzzle the constable much. But the worst part of the business was yet to come, for whilst they were thus engaged—the constable pouring in his advice, and Mr. Begood drowning it by pouring in his ale, in bounced the .brace of brim atones above-mentioned ; and Mr. Begood was so mightily elated thereat, that he jumped over the, table, and kicked sundry drinkin g glasses therefrom, smashing them to pieces against the wall on the other side of the room. The constable now thought it was high time to pocket his patience and take out his staff; and he did so; but Mr. Begood paid as little respect to the staff agile had done to the advice; and when !the constable attempted to force him away from further mischief, he set-to and cracked the constable's shins, with as little remorse as his distressed coun trymen are cracking the power-looms. Whereupon the con stable called iu the watch, and the brace of brimstones were d*... persed, and Mr. Begood was carried to the watch-house, kicking and sprunting, with all his might. Mr. Begood, in his defence, admitted that he had not been so . good as he ought to have beeni but nevertheless he thought he had endured more punishment than enough. He said he was but " standing on steps asking constable for's authority, when watchman came . up, grappled him round knees, like child, and began carrying him off in that form ;" and because he did not like that, they " punch'd himwi' staves till ribs ached!" - • • Mr. Alderman Cox told him all this was the natural conse quence.of hie, own misconduct ; and unless he could satisfy the constable, by apologizing to him for having kicked his shins so unmercifully, he must put in bail. Mr. Begnod preferred to apologize ; awl the parties having withdrawn for a minute or two, the constable came in. again, and said they had made every thing very comfortable. BOW-STREET..:.,Mizabeth Fitzgerald and Maria Fax were remanded, charged with uttering base coin, waking up the number of seven now in cuitody for this offence. QUEEN-SQUARE.— G. Johnson alias Day, was fully com mitted, charged with stealing Jane Carlton, aged four years; daughter of the coachman to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.-- The child was playing in the Treasury Chambers, when the soner sent the girl who had her iu charge to see thutime of day at the Treasury clock, and' in the interim decamped with the child, but was soon after detected, when a silk handkerchief, which was round the child's neck, was found lying on the atones, - 1 at his feet. • • On Saturday. Mr: .iVicholas =tar, who Stated himself the proprietor and publisher of certain books, announcing the dif ferent performances at . the King's - Theatre, in the Haymarket, .was brought up .in custody. before D. W. Ciuxuoata, Eq., charged , with creating a disturbance in front of the box entrance into tlie Opera House, by hawking his batiks abont, 'and with assaulting the officer in the execution of his duty. Sir R. But Nix sat On the bench during tjte investigation. It appeared. from the statement of E. J. Handley, an officer belonging to the above establishment, that on the 25th ult. he was stationed at the grand 'entrance of , the Opera House ; his duty was to prevent any obstruction of the nobility and gentry proceeding into the Theatre. The defendant, however, with several boytt, whom he emPloys, were selling spurious books . of the night's performance, and as the carriages dreW Up with' the 'company, some of these venders hovered round the nobility, and forced their books on them, which occasioned great inconvenience, by obstructing the free entrance. He (Handley) had often endeavoured to prevent it, and on the above evening he requested the defendant to move away, saying it was his duty to keep a clear passage ; the-defendant, hoWever, refused to go, observing that he should continue the practice of offering his books for sale to the company in spite of him or his authority. This contention caused a crowd of persons to assemble round the grand entrance, and the free passage was with assistance, at length got the defendant away at .the moment that her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta's carriage drew up. The defendant afterwards threw stones at him, for which assault he was.brought before their Worships. Mr. Gazoontx—Well, Mr. Millar, what have you to may ? The constable is stationed there' to, prevent the public being an noyed. Will you promise not to go there again ? Defendant—Allow me, Sir—l will explain. lam the pro prietor and publisher of the books, which cost me a deal of money ; they are genuine publications of the night's performance. I must sell them, .and they are considered a great acquisition for the company going into the Opera-house, where at times a book cannot he procured. Sir 11. thawta.—l don't think so ; they are of a surreptiti ous description, and several . complaints have been made to me about them. The defendant said, that Mr. Ebers knew he sold them at the doors, and intimated also that he was to have au interview with that gentleman this evening (Saturday), to comprornise with him. Sir R. &AKIN, in answer, said, that could not possibly be the fact; for Mr. Ebers himself had also complained to him respect ing them. Besides, observed Sir 11., ;you have no buSiness to hawk your surreptitious work there, and cause a disturbance,. to the detriment of the honest tradesman. ~., The defendant stated, he was regularly licensed from the Stamp Office; his books he must sell, and maintained they .were genuine ones of the performance. Mr. Gxeaoata..•-Your license does not state you are to hawk them in the street; But leaving the books out of the question, it is my duty to call on you to find good bail for assaulting the officer.
